Toplița, Administrative division in Harghita County, Romania.
Toplița extends along the upper Mureș River at 650 meters elevation, bordered by the mountains of Giurgiului, Gurghiului, and Călimani.
The settlement began in 1567 when Kozma Petričević established Moldavian peasant families on land that belonged to Simon Bán's estate until 1228.
The population of 12,609 residents includes 68 percent Romanians, 22 percent Hungarians of Székely origin, and 3 percent Romani communities.
The municipality contains multiple churches, an ethnographic museum in Urmánczy castle, and administrative services under the leadership of Mayor Dumitru Olariu.
The name Toplița derives from Slavic origins meaning hot water spring, reflecting the presence of mineral springs in this mountainous region.
